land this morning and complimented
him for appointing men of his own Sc
lection to Federal offices in California.

appointed to the offices. President
Cleveland said he would be responsible
for all his Pacific coast appointments
as well as those in other sections OF the
country.
Many Theusands Of Mon Dat Of Work
In Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE number of
idle men in this city, who have either
struck or been locked out, is rapidly
increasing; it was variously estimated
from 10000 to 10000. The number
probably does not exceed $4,000, but
by the end of the present week it will
be largely increased. Not more than
500 bricklayers are at work and their
occupation will be gone as soon as the
stock of material on hand is exhausted.
Employees in other trades are gradually
forced to stop work because they are
reaching point in construction at
which they cannot proceed until brick
layers run up walls. The outlook is

The Waco Examiner seldom fails TO
give q column or two in praise of
Coke and Clark, with Mills as a fair
third. The editor of the Examiner
evidently expects 10 go to Clark, Coke
and Mills when he dies. One to read
the Examiner would suppose there
are no other public men in Texas out
side of Waco, except, possibly Mills.
Coke and Clark and Ross are Waco
statesmen who stand high in the esti-
nation of the people of Texas; but
certainly the Examiner ought to know
it, and give its readers something else
once in a while.

Hon. b. GIBBS letter in response to
press criticism of his late discovery
that the internal revenue tax on tobac
co and liquor should be abolished, is
interesting reading and an able de-
Tense of bad position. He claims
that the internal revenue tax is of Re-
publican and not Democratic origin,
which is true. The protective tariff
and the revenue tax are both Of Re
publican origin; the one largely in
creased and the other inaugurated by
the Republican party in power to
raise revenue for war purposes, and
they both have been perpetuated by
Republican majoritics in congress,
until millions of tho peoples money
have been withdrawn from circulation
and boarded in tho treasury, with the
effect of oppression to the people and
prosperity to protected manufactul ing
establishments. The reduction of this
unnecessary and burdeEsome tax, is
a Democratic measure which will be
accomplished as soon os Democrats
get control of both houses of Con-
gress with a Democratic President
Democrats who will represent the
people and not the protected manu-
facturcrs. The question now is the
means of reducing the surplus reve-
nue.. Tho large majority of the DEM
ocratic party favor revision of the
tariff, putting on the free list such ar
ticles as blankets, clothing, ironware
and other necessary articles, and re-
ducing the tariff on others, and then
if there is still a surplus of revenue
to take the tax off of tobacco. An
other and very small faction of DEM
ocrats, among them Randall and 9TH
ers from the east, join the Republicans
in maintaining the high protective
feature OF the tariff, end reduce the
revenue, il needs be, by abolition of
the internal revenue tax on tobacco
and liquors. Now, it is for the pee
pic to determine which Of these two
policies seem to be in the interest of
the masses. A few weeks ago Mr..
Gibbs astonished his friends in Texas
with declaration in favor of the re-
ductlon of the revenue first by the
abolition of the internal revenue to

those relating to the national debt
charges, will be vigorously opposed. 1t

to present a budget that may save the
Conservatives at the next general cleo

whom was Mrs. Ashton Dixie, made
their way to the sides of the hall, from
